2021 Benelli Tornado Naked T 125
CarHunch analysed 123 real MOT records for the 2021 Benelli Tornado Naked T 125. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2021 Benelli Tornado Naked T 125 has a first-time MOT pass rate of 60%, which is 20 percentage points below the UK average of 80%—a meaningful gap that suggests these bikes encounter more issues than the typical vehicle. With just over 1 in 10 bikes (10.6%) flagged for dangerous defects, it's not a serious safety epidemic, but it's worth factoring into your buyer confidence.
At an average mileage of 5,902 miles for three-year-old bikes, these are relatively low-mileage machines, yet they're still averaging 0.29 failures and 1.1 advisories per test—indicating that age or sitting time, not hard use, is creating problems. Before buying, have a pre-purchase inspection focus on the electrical and brake systems, as these are common weak points on small-capacity naked bikes that aren't ridden regularly.
What to check before buying a 2021 Benelli Tornado Naked T 125
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
